Setting Up Automatic Frame Relay Discovery Configuration
The default frame relay discovery mode is 1MPort. No auto-configuration occurs until
the network cable is connected. If you do not want management links configured or
auto-configuration, change the default setting for the FR Discovery feature.
The following table describes the difference between the various settings.
FR Discovery Mode
Description
1MPort
(Default)
Auto-configuration is enabled, and for each DLCI
discovered on the network, a multiplexed network DLCI
and a standard port DLCI will be configured and
connected.
The multiplexed network DLCI will contain one EDLCI for
management traffic (EDLCI/2), and one EDLCI for
customer data (EDLCI/0). The customer data EDLCI on
the network will be cross-connected to the data port
DLCI.
1Port
Auto-configuration is enabled. For each DLCI discovered
on the network, a multiplexed network DLCI and a
standard port DLCI will be configured and connected
(EDLCI/0), creating a PVC within the FrameSaver unit.
No management DLCIs will be configured on the network
interface.
2MPorts
Auto-configuration is enabled on both Port-1 and
Port-2.
A management PVC is configured on EDLCI/2.
A multiplexed network DLCI containing three EDLCIs
is configured for Port-1 customer data (EDLCI/0),
Port-2 customer data (EDLCI/1), and management
data (EDLCI/2).
PVC connections are configured between the network
and port DLCIs.
NetOnly
Auto-configuration is enabled, DLCIs are discovered on
the network interface, but no cross-connections are
configured.
Disable
No frame relay discovery takes place. No DLCIs will be
configured on the network interface. The user must
manually configure DLCIs and PVC connections.
